difference: Grevy is eyidentl, not dis

The Bohemian Onts Swindle.

The Bohemian Oats Swindle.
"A resident of Hagerstown made trip
into Franklin county, Pa, a few days
ago. The Bohemian oats agents have
been operating across the line to
greater extent than they have in WASH
ington county, and consequently the
farmers Of Franklin county are more
familiar with the "ways that are dark"
i'll connection with oats. The agents
contract to purchase at e1travagant
prices all oats produced from the seed
originally procured OF them. But in
their contract they stipulate that such
payments can be made with negotiable
paper obtained from other farmers or
purchasers, less ten per cent. cash COM
mission to the agent. This arrangement
open. up>a wide range of liberties for
the agent, anu explains why the notes
of irresponsible white or colored citizens
are sought, namely, TO be palmed on
upon the honest farmers when they
come TO sell their oats back to the
agents. In this way agents are living
up 10 their contracts to buy the oats pro-
duced. At the same time, irresponsible
parties are attaching their names to
notes for large amounts, and these notes
generally turn up where they are most
needed by the agent, and less desired
by the unfortunate farmer who places
himself in the power of the swindlsrs.-

John Brown, president of the Merchants
National Bank, committed suicide by
hanging herself 10 rafter on the porch
of her fathers residence, in MOnongalia
county. She had been in ill-health for
several years. She WAS twenty-six years
old.
William Sinclair was probably fatally
wounded at his home, in Monongalia
county, last week by receiving bullet
in the groin from a revolver in the hands
of his father. He was trying to get some
money from his fathers pocket to pre-
vent it being lost, as his father was

Baltimore apd Ohio engineers are sur
veying tor a new line from Little Hook
ing, point on the Cincinnati, Washing
ton and Baltimore, about twelve miles
from Parkersburg, to Pomeroy, about
eighty miles down the river. The pur-
pose is to reach the Jackson county coal
fields and form competing line along
the Ohio river to the Ohio River Rail-
road, now built to Point Pleasant, and
belonging to the Pennsylvania Central.
The Pittsburg Times has the follow
ing in regard to the new line of railroad
which it is proposed to extend from
Pittsburg through West Virginia to
Charleston, the State capital. 1.-The
Pennsylvania Railroad Company has
force of engineers at work upon the val
ley of the Monongahela river, between
Brownsville and the mouth of Cheat
river, surveying the route for the ex-
tension of the Pittsburg, Virginia and
Charleston road to Morgantown. Thence
the road will follow the Monongahela
to Fairmont, whence it will follow the
West Fork river to Clarksburg. From
that point it will likely occupy the road
bed of the Weston and Clarksburg mar
row gauge to Weston, whence it will
60 through the counties of Gilmor, CAL
houn and Roane to the Kanawha coun-
ty line, whence it will proceed TO
Charleston, the capital Of the State Of
West Virginia. At that city the new
road will meet the Chesapeak e and Ohio
or the main stem OF the great Hunting
ton system. The Ka1awha and Ohio
road also comes to Charleston from the
Ohio river at Point Pleasant, connect
ing at that town with the Ohio river
road, a line 220 miles long. extending
from Wheeling, where it connects with
the Pan Handle road Of the Pennsyl-
vsnia system"

NEAR UvILLA, w. VA,

February 18th, 1887.
DEAR EDIToRs.-Well, you did not
attend the Grange dinner or feast held
at our genial friends house, Mr.. WIN.
Engle, Jr., OH the 3rd instant. fully
expected to see you there. The instaiia-
ton of officers for the ensuing year took
place before arrived. | believe nearly
all the citizens of that vicinity were
there. Some members Of Forest Grange
were there, also Mr.. Cushwa and sever
al other leading Changers from Berke-
ley county. Over 100 persons were
present. Now came the all-important
part, the dinner. The table was ladened
with every thing the appetite could pos
sibly desire. l hardly know how to e1-
press how nice and abundant every
thing was-I am sure fully enough for
400 persons. The ladies rendered some
very nice music, whilst those further
advanced in years die their utmost to
make those who were eating, eat more.
Long may these sociables continue to
be fashionable and your friend one to
be present. Mr.. and Mrs. Eng!s did all
i'm their power to make their friends feel
at home. You know they did. for one
gentleman kept OH eating; others came,
ate and went; still he was keeping time
with the others.
Our friend MIR. P. r. Moler, who was
attacked W it'll pneumonia in December
and had quite Il severe time. is walking
about his home again and we hope will
soon be out again.
Harry, my advice to you is not to miss
any more of these dinners, for you lose
a great deal.
The personally of Mr.. Isaac Dust.
deceased, was sold at public sale last
Thursday, and every thing brought a
fair price. Yours hastily,
